What is your SD and/or carry ammo type? Anyone know what OPD and/or NSP uses?

A couple of years back Gun Unlimited told me that OPD was using Remington Golden Saber. One reason they were out of stock at the time.

They were but might have switched to Dots now. FWIW in the testing I’ve done the Golden Saber’s have been really bad at expanding and holding together. Federal HST on the other hand expands every time from what I’ve seen.

Keep in mind also, anything you post on the internet, will come up on a search..... Should something happen, the news media will scour your FB page and every internet forum you post in looking for tidbits of info :-)

The media would do this if you used a NERF gun. Live your life and stop worrying about what the media thinks. You have a right to defend yourself. Find something that will do the job and stick with it. If you keep aware of your surroundings, you will most likely never have to use it anyway.

The most critical aspect of SD ammo is reliability. It must be 100% reliable in YOUR handgun.
Then, YOU must be able to use the handgun well enough to put it on target reliably.
If the NSP's selection works for you and your system, GREAT!

I went to my lgs recently and they informed me that opd uses golden sabers...in addition to the potential criminal liability concerns there is also the aspect of that related to civil suits...I.e. I would rather use what the local or state leo's use instead of Hornady zombie max...imagine trying to explain why you chose such a silly-named ammunition, peesumably designed for shooting fictional horror characts for your sd situations - it would be easy to paint you as a person taking things lightly and/or in a juvenile manner. obviously this is an extreme example, but, just sayin, I would feel more comfortable int the position of, "hey, I use what the Leo's use...nothing questionable about that..."
